Enzo + Gigolo = Bad News


Eddie's certainly not helping his insurance case with alleged statements such as:

"Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive," Griffin, referring to one of his past films, said after the accident.

I also like the "mixed feelings" comment by the owner in the MSN article...

Sometimes owner insurance will not cover other drivers...And track event too. Statements like Eddie's are not improving his claim. But at least he is honest and owning up to it - unlike how some people handle these things...

I guess he is taking his paycheck in advance, and has already spent it...

The problem is he can't hold his 64oz Orange Crush and drive a stick. He navigated his caddy through traffic without spilling a drop.
 
With all the money from his movie career i'm sure his not to worried about paying for the Enzo.
 
HOW SAD:eek
 
so how many Enzos are left?
Like 385 have not been crashed?
 
The producer who owns that car makes about 20 million a month.... He paid cash for all those cars and bought most of them at the WYNN on the spot for the film. They tweeeeked a Carera gt and then decided to wreck it. In the trailer the CGT twisting and flying into frame was a kit car that was ratcheted... Search REDLINE on this site.. We talked alot about it about 10 months ago
 
Ok hypothetical conversation:

Producer of Redline: "MK2 we really want to use your GTX1 in a movie!"

MK2 "aaahhh..how about no"

Producer of Redline: "Ok then there is a chairty event coming up and we will get an amateur driver , actually he is a B- list comedian, to rocket around the track in your car"

MK2: "You know after thinking about it for the last 3 seconds, I have to pass on this opportunity as well..."

That's what I would have said about my GTx1 , much less a 1.5 million dollar (only 400 ever made) Enzo...sheesh..

Possible explanation for the Enzo crash.
A PR stunt?

Highly doubt that, 'ICE, (though nothing Hollywood might do would surprise me).

'Reason I say that in this case is: (1) did you notice the guy standing behind the concrete barrier darn near directly behind the point of impact? 'Don't think he'd have been there if this were planned!:lol (2)The Enzo evidently was that movie's producer's own personal car. (3) Griffin wouldn't have been asigned the driving chore.

BUT! It DID end up being a publicity stunt regardless!

( EG: I'd never even HEARD of Griffin before this incident. 'Bet other's hadn't either. So, this event put his name - and the movie's - out there. Maybe not the way he'd have preferred, but ...)

What I'd like to know is, why would they put a hard turn in that pylon coarse right in front of cement barricades when they had to know the dude drivin' wasn't a pro driver? I'da thought the whole coarse would have been set up waaaaaaaay out away from everything in anticipation of something like this... especially when they weren't using a "fake" Enzo.

I'm guessing it was to protect the camera guy. Who deserves credit for not pinching a loaf on the spot!

I can see them trying to get a nice close-up of Griffin driving hard through a turn. I bet they told him not to let off the gas through the turn. When that’s translates from your head to your right foot, it can look ugly.

'Wants $1.3 million for it. How does that compare to a "no story" Enzo's value these days? Anybody here "up on that"?
 
Coming from a movie that cost 26 million to make :eek not including advertising and the fact that it made less than 8 million :ack worldwide having that Enzo wrecked was the cheapest thing that happened to the producer of that flick.

How you can take that many great cars and make such a terrible flick is beyond me? And these comments are coming from a guy who loves the Fast and the Furious type movies. There, I admitted it. :rofl:lol:rofl

Thats no deal, I still see them on ebay for $1million to $1.4million for clean history cars. I'd love to have a Enzo
 
$1.3 Mil might be pretty heavy for the "history" that comes with the car, but I think the seller stated for that kind of $$ Eddie Griffin will deliver it to the new owner. :rofl

For that kind of money, Nadia Bjorlin and Eddie Griffin should deliver it to the new owner.
